The Reapers

Hi! I'm here to DESTROY ALL OF YOU. 
Hi! I'm here to DESTROY ALL OF YOU. 
There are very few antagonists in gaming that pose as much of a threat as the Reapers do. Can you honestly name another group of villains that methodically extinct entire species when they become the dominant race in the galaxy? Shit no, you can't!  
 
And they're not just my favorite baddies because of the insanely ridiculous threat they pose, either. They're my favorite because of just how awesome the story behind the Protheans and the Reapers are. I picked them because how great the end of Mass Effect 1 is. I picked them because Sovereign was the shit. The simple idea of them is genius and mysterious, a combination of some incredibly inventive thinking and some amazing sci-fi artwork and design. The end of 1 and the final cutscene in 2 gets me ancy-in-the-pantsy at what to expect out of Mass Effect 3, almost entirely because I want to know how you stop a force as destructive as the Reapers.

Even though there's the small chance that someday, I might play this? I don't like spoiling games like that, especially major titles.

Is that Mass Effect? Keep in mind that I haven't really played either game.

Kefka's a pretty cool antagonist, taking suffering to its ultimate extreme, creating a great irony in the process.
